2023 Instructions for Schedule K-1 568 Member’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc.

References in these instructions are to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as of January 1, 2015, and to the California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC).

General Information

In general, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, California law conforms to the IRC as of January 1, 2015. However, there are continuing differences between California and federal law. When California conforms to federal tax law changes, we do not always adopt all of the changes made at the federal level. For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for conformity. Additional information can be found in FTB Pub. 1001, Supplemental Guidelines to California Adjustments, the instructions for California Schedule CA (540), California Adjustments – Residents, or Schedule CA (540NR), California Adjustments- Nonresidents or Part-Year Residents, and the Business Entity tax booklets.

The instructions provided with California tax forms are a summary of California tax law and are only intended to aid taxpayers in preparing their state income tax returns. We include information that is most useful to the greatest number of taxpayers in the limited space available. It is not possible to include all requirements of the California R&TC in the instructions. Taxpayers should not consider the instructions as authoritative law.

California follows the revised federal instructions (with some exceptions) for reporting the sale, exchange or disposition of an asset for which an IRC Section 179 expense was claimed in a prior year by a partnership, limited liability company (LLC), or S corporation.

Members should follow federal reporting requirements as detailed in federal Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income, and federal Form 4797, Sales of Business Property.

Special Reporting for R&TC Section 41 – Beginning in taxable year 2020, partners, members, shareholders, or beneficiaries of pass-through entities conducting a commercial cannabis activity licensed under the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) should file form FTB 4197, Information on Tax Expenditure Items. The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) uses information from form FTB 4197 for reports required by the California Legislature. If the LLC conducted a commercial cannabis activity licensed under the California MAUCRSA, or received flow-through income from another pass-through entity in that business, the LLC will report your share of total deductions and credits related to the cannabis income on a separate schedule attached to Schedule K-1. Use the information from this schedule to complete form FTB 4197. Get form FTB 4197 for more information.

New Deduction for Pass-Through Income – For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026, the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) adds IRC Sec. 199A, “Qualified Business Income.” Under IRC Section 199A, a non‑corporate taxpayer, including a trust or estate, who has qualified business income (QBI) from a partnership, S corporation, or sole proprietorship is allowed a deduction. California does not conform to the deduction for qualified business income of pass-through entities under IRC Section 199A.

Single-Sales Factor Formula – R&TC Section 25128.7 requires all business income of an apportioning trade or business, other than an apportioning trade or business under R&TC Section 25128(b), to apportion its business income to California using the single-sales factor formula. For more information, get Schedule R, Apportionment and Allocation of Income, or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for single sales factor.

Market Assignment – R&TC Section 25136 requires all taxpayers to assign sales, other than sales of tangible personal property, using market assignment. For more information, get Schedule R or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for market assignment.

A. Purpose

An LLC that has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes uses Schedule K‑1 (568), Member’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., to report your distributive share of the LLC’s income, deductions, credits, etc. Keep Schedule K-1 (568) for your records. Information from the Schedule K‑1 (568) should be used to complete your California tax return. However, do not file the schedule with your California tax return. The LLC has filed a copy with the FTB.

As a member of the LLC, you are subject to tax on your distributive share of the LLC income, whether or not distributed.

The amount of loss and deduction you are allowed to claim on your California tax return may be less than the amount reported on Schedule K‑1 (568). Generally, the amount of loss and deduction you are allowed to claim is limited to your basis in the LLC and the amount for which you are considered at-risk. If you have losses, deductions, or credits from a passive activity, you also must apply the passive activity loss and credit rules. It is the member’s responsibility to consider and apply any applicable limitations. See Instructions, Loss Limitations.

You should also read the federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), Partner’s Instructions for Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), before completing your California tax return with this Schedule K-1 (568) information.

For additional information on the treatment of LLC income, deductions, credits, etc., get the following federal publications:

Pub. 541, Partnerships
Pub. 535, Business Expenses

Any information returns required for federal purposes under IRC Sections 6038, 6038A, 6038B, and 6038D are also required for California purposes. Attach the information returns to your California return when filed. If the information returns are not provided, penalties may be imposed under R&TC Sections 19141.2 and 19141.5.

B. Definitions

Member

An individual or entity owning an interest in the LLC whose potential personal liability for LLC debts is limited to the amount of money or other property that the member contributed or is required to contribute to the LLC.

Federal and California law allows spouses that are the sole owners of an eligible business entity (including an LLC) to be treated as two owners or one owner, for purposes of applying rules to determine the classification of that entity for tax purposes. If the spouses elect to be a single owner, the LLC could be disregarded as a separate entity but may not be classified as a partnership. Similarly, if the spouses elect to be two owners, the entity may be classified as a partnership but cannot be disregarded as a separate entity. This election is not available to Registered Domestic Partners (RDPs). For more information on RDPs, get FTB Pub. 737, Tax Information for Registered Domestic Partners.

Nonrecourse Loans

Liabilities of the LLC for which none of the members have assumed any personal liability.

Qualified Nonrecourse Financing

Any financing for which no one is personally liable for repayment that is borrowed for use in an activity of holding real property and that is loaned or guaranteed by a federal, state, or local government, or borrowed from a “qualified person.”

California Business Situs

The place at which intangible personal property is employed as capital in California, or the possession and control of the property is localized in connection with a business in California so that its substantial use and value attach to and become an asset of the business in California.

Apportionment

The process by which business income from a trade or business is conducted in two or more states (an apportioning trade or business) is divided between taxing jurisdictions. Get Schedule R for more information.

Unitary

A method of taxation by which all of the activities comprising a single trade or business are viewed as a single unit, regardless of whether those activities are conducted by divisions of a single entity or by commonly owned or controlled entities. For more information about unitary business principles, get FTB Pub. 1061, Guidelines for Corporations Filing a Combined Report.

Election

The ability to choose a particular accounting method for tax reporting purposes. Generally, the LLC decides how to compute taxable income from its operations. For example, it chooses the accounting method and depreciation methods it will use.

However, certain elections are made separately on your California tax return and not by the LLC. This election is made under IRC Section 617 (deduction and recapture of certain mining exploration expenditures, paid or incurred).

C. Reporting Information from Columns (d) and (e)

If the LLC derives income from activities conducted both within and outside California, the LLC is an apportioning LLC. All LLCs (apportioning and nonapportioning) should complete columns (c) and (d). Apportioning LLCs must also complete column (e). The apportioning LLC will determine which items of income constitute business or nonbusiness income and will use Schedule R to determine the LLC income from California sources. The LLC business income apportioned to California are entered in column (e). LLC nonbusiness income from real and tangible property will also be entered in column (e). Nonbusiness intangibles are sourced or allocated at the member level and must be entered on Table 1 instead. For more information, see General Information D, Nonbusiness Income, and General Information E, Unitary Members. Resident members will use only the information in column (c) and column (d) to report their share of the LLC’s income or loss.

Nonresident, corporate, and other entity members must report their distributive share of income, loss or credits apportioned or allocated to California as indicated on Schedule K-1 (568), column (e). Special rules apply if a member and the LLC are engaged in a unitary business. See Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 17951-4 and 25137-1 for more information. Also see General Information E, Unitary Members.

Residents, part-year residents, and some nonresidents may qualify for a credit for taxes paid to other states on income that is apportioned or allocated to a state other than California. For more information, get California Schedule S, Other State Tax Credit.

Nonapportioning LLCs do not need to fill out column (e) on Schedule K‑1 (568) if the member is a resident and the “Yes” box is checked on Question H. However, the final determination of residency is made at the member level. If the LLC is uncertain as to the residency status of the member, it should fill out column (e) for that member.

Inconsistent Treatment of Items

Generally, members must report tax items shown on their Schedule K-1s and any attached schedules the same way the LLC treated the items on its tax return. If the treatment on a member’s original or amended tax return is inconsistent with the LLC’s treatment, or if the LLC has not filed a tax return, the member must attach a statement with its original or amended tax return to identify and explain any inconsistency or to note that a LLC tax return has not been filed. If a member is required to attach this statement but fails to do so, the member may be subject to an accuracy related penalty.

D. Nonbusiness Income

The determination of whether LLC income is business income or nonbusiness income is made at the LLC level. Nonbusiness income from real or tangible personal property located in California, such as rents, royalties, gains, or losses is California source income (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 17951-3 and R&TC Sections 23040, 25124, and 25125). This information should be included on the appropriate line of column (e), as well as in Table 2, Part B, if the LLC believes it is unitary with the member or if the LLC is uncertain whether it is unitary with the member. Non‑unitary members should ignore the information in Table 2 and use column (e).

If the LLC has income from nonbusiness intangibles, the source of that nonbusiness intangible income will be determined at the member level. In most cases, income from nonbusiness intangible property is sourced at the residence or commercial domicile of the member. If the member is an individual, estate, trust, pass-through entity owned by an individual, or income from nonbusiness intangibles will have a California source if the intangible has acquired a California business situs. For example, a nonresident pledges stocks, bonds, or other intangible personal property in California. This pledge is security for the payment of debt, taxes, or other liabilities incurred for a business in this state. The pledged property will acquire a business situs in California. Another example is a nonresident who maintains an office and bank account in California for the business activities in this state. The bank account will acquire a business situs in California. See Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 17951-2 and R&TC Section 17952. If the intangible income is determined to have a business situs by the LLC, the intangible income will be included in column (e).

If the member is a corporation or another business entity owned by a corporation Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 25137‑1 requires that nonbusiness income from intangibles be allocated in accordance with the rules of R&TC Sections 25125 to 25127.

Because the source of intangible nonbusiness income is dependent upon the status of the individual member, that income is not included in column (e) and is entered only in Table 1. The member must determine the source of such income by applying the rules described above.

E. Unitary Members

The rules discussed below apply to corporations, individuals, and other entities that conduct a trade or business that is unitary with the LLC’s trade or business (see Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 17951-4, incorporating the provisions of R&TC Section 25137 and regulations thereunder).

Unitary members cannot use the California source information reflected in column (e). Such members must use the information in Tables 1 and 2 as described in the instructions that follow, and in the Line Instructions.

The member’s distributive share of LLC items is determined by applying the rules in R&TC Sections 17851 through 17858. The determination of the portion of the distributive share of business and nonbusiness income that has its source in California or that is includible in the member’s business income subject to apportionment is made in accordance with Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 25137-1 if the member, or the LLC, or both, have income from sources within and outside this state. The member, in computing net income for its tax accounting period, must include its distributive share of LLC items referred to above for any LLC taxable year ending within or with the member’s tax accounting period.

Distributive Items of Business Income

Apportionment of Business Income – Unitary Business

If the LLC’s activities and the member’s activities constitute a unitary business under established standards (other than ownership requirements), the combined business income of this single trade or business apportioned to California is determined by combining the member’s distributive share of the LLC’s apportionment factors with the factors of the member for any LLC year ending within the member’s tax accounting period. Combined business income is then apportioned by the sales factor. Use of a 3-factor formula depends upon whether combined gross business receipts (member’s share of the LLC’s gross business receipts plus the member’s own gross business receipts) are more than 50 percent from agricultural, extractive, savings and loans, banking, or financial business activities. For more information, get Schedule R.

If you are a member that is unitary with the LLC, use Table 2 to compute your factors, applying the rules shown below (see Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 25129 to 25137 for examples). Members that are unitary with the LLC should perform the following steps:

Combine your distributive share of the LLC’s business income with your own business income to determine total business income.
If using the single-sales factor formula, compute the sales factor by combining your share of the LLC’s sales factor from Table 2, Part C, with your own sales factor as explained in these instructions. If using the 3-factor formula, compute property, payroll, and sales factors by combining your share of the LLC’s factors from Table 2, Part C, with your own factors as explained in these instructions.
Apply the apportionment factor determined in Step 2 to the total business income determined in Step 1 to arrive at business income apportioned to this state.

Unitary Member’s Computation of the Sales Factor

Compute the numerator and denominator of the sales factor in accordance with Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 25134 to 25136. Apply the following special rules:

Include in the denominator of the sales factor your distributive share of the LLC’s sales that give rise to business income. See Table 2, Part C.
Include in the numerator of your sales factor the amount of such sales described in part A attributable to California.
Eliminate intercompany sales as one of the following:
- Sales by the member to the LLC to the extent of the member’s interest in the LLC.
- Sales by the LLC to the member not to exceed the member’s interest in all LLC sales. See Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 25137‑1(f)(3).

Unitary Member’s Computation of Property Factor

Use Schedule R to compute the numerator and the denominator of the property factor. Adjust factors in accordance with Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 25129, 25130, and 25131. Also apply the following special rules:

Include in the denominator of your property factor your distributive share of the LLC’s beginning and ending balances of real and tangible personal property owned (if rented, multiply net annual rents paid, by 8) and used during the tax accounting period in the regular course of business. See Table 2, Part C.
Include in the numerator of your property factor the value of such property that is described in part A (above) that is located in California. See Table 2, Part C.
See Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 25137-1(f)(1)(B) for examples of how to avoid duplication of the value of property that is rented by the member to the LLC or vice versa.

Unitary Member’s Computation of Payroll Factor

Use Schedule R to compute the numerator and the denominator of the payroll factor in accordance with Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 25132 and 25133. Apply the following special rules:

Include in the denominator of your payroll factor your distributive share of the LLC’s payroll used to produce business income. See Table 2, Part C.
Include in the numerator any such payroll described in part A (above) that is applicable to California. See Table 2, Part C.

Apportionment of Business Income – Nonunitary Business

If the apportioning trade or business conducted by a partner is not unitary with the apportioning trade or business of the partnership, the partnership apportions its business income separately, using Schedules R, R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 only. The different items of business income as apportioned to CA are entered in column (e).

Distributive Items of Nonbusiness Income for a Unitary Member

Income in Table 2, Part B, is from a California source under R&TC Sections 25124 and 25125. Unitary members must make certain to separately include such items from Tables 1 and 2 as California source income. Unitary members shall use Tables 1 and 2 to report nonbusiness income instead of Schedule K-1 (568), column (e).

Instructions

Questions and Items

The LLC completes the questions and items on each Schedule K-1 (568) for all its members. For more information, see the instructions for federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065).

Schedule K-1 (568)

Important Note to Members: If your Schedule K-1 (568) reports losses and/or deductions, you must first apply the basis, at-risk, and passive activity limitations before such losses/deductions can be deducted on your California tax return. See Instructions, Loss Limitations. Also, see IRC Section 705(a) for information on how to compute basis.

If your return is ever examined, you may be required to provide your computations and the supporting documents for your membership interest.

If you are an individual member, the amounts in column (c), California adjustments, and column (d), Total amounts using California law, that are from nonpassive activities must be reported on the appropriate California form or schedule; such as, Schedule D (540), California Capital Gain or Loss Adjustment, Schedule D-1, Sales of Business Property, Schedule CA (540), or Schedule CA (540NR).

Amounts in column (e), California source amounts and credits, that are from passive activities must be reported on form FTB 3801, Passive Activity Loss Limitations, form FTB 3801-CR, Passive Activity Credit Limitations, or form FTB 3802, Corporate Passive Activity Loss and Credit Limitations. Use the related worksheets to figure any passive loss limitations. If the LLC knows that you are a California resident, it may leave column (e) blank. California residents are subject to tax on their entire taxable income shown in column (d) (R&TC Section 17041).

If you are not an individual member, report the amounts as instructed on your California tax return.

If you have losses, deductions, credits, etc., from a prior year that were not deductible or usable because of certain limitations they may be taken into account in determining your net income, loss, etc., for this year. However, do not combine the prior-year amounts with any amounts shown on this Schedule K-1 (568) to get a net figure. Instead, report the amounts on an attached schedule, statement, or form on a year-by-year basis. Get the instructions for federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) for more information.

Loss Limitations

The amounts shown on line 1 through line 3 of your Schedule K-1 (568) reflect your distributive share of income or loss from the LLC’s business or rental operations. If you have losses from the LLC, there are three potential limitations imposed on losses before you may deduct them on your return. These limitations and the order in which they must be applied are:

Basis limitations (IRC Section 704)
At-risk limitations (IRC Section 465)
Passive activity loss and credit limitations (IRC Section 469)

Each of these limitations is discussed separately in the following instructions.

Other limitations may apply to specific deductions such as the investment interest expense deduction. These limitations on specific deductions generally apply before the basis, at-risk, and passive loss limitations.

Basis Rules

Generally, California tax law conforms to federal tax law concerning basis limitation. You may not claim your share of an LLC loss (including a capital loss) that is greater than the adjusted basis of your LLC interest at the end of the LLC’s taxable year.

The LLC is not responsible for keeping the information needed to compute the basis of your LLC interest. Although the LLC does provide you with an analysis of the changes to your capital account on your Schedule K‑1 (568), Item K, that information is based on the LLC’s books and records and should not be used to compute your basis.

You can compute the basis of your LLC interest by adding items that increase your basis and then subtracting items that decrease your basis.

Items that increase your basis may include the following:

Money and the adjusted basis of property you contributed to the LLC.
Your distributive share of the LLC’s income.
Your distributive share of the increase in the liabilities of the LLC (and/or your individual liabilities caused by your assumption of LLC liabilities).

Items that decrease your basis, but not below zero, may include the following:

Money and the adjusted basis of property distributed to you.
Your share of the LLC’s losses.
Your share of the decrease in the liabilities of the LLC (and/or your individual liabilities assumed by the LLC).

This is not a complete list of items and factors that determine basis. Get federal Pub. 541, for a complete discussion of how to determine the basis of your LLC interest.

At-Risk Rules

The at-risk rules limit the amount of loss (including loss on disposition of assets) and other deductions (such as IRC Section 179) that you can claim to the amount you could actually lose in the activity.

If you have: (1) a loss or other deduction from an activity carried on as a trade or business or for the production of income by the LLC; and (2) amounts in the activity for which you are not at-risk, you will have to complete federal Form 6198, At-Risk Limitations, to figure the allowable loss to report on your return. Complete federal Form 6198 using California amounts.

Get the instructions for federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), At‑Risk Limitations, and federal Pub. 925, Passive Activity and At-Risk Rules, for more information.

Passive Activity Loss and Credit Rules

IRC Section 469 limits the deduction of certain losses and credits. California law generally conforms to this federal provision. These rules apply to members who have a passive activity loss or credit for the taxable year.

For California purposes, passive loss limitations apply to individuals, estates, trusts (other than grantor trusts), closely held corporations, and S corporations.

Even though the passive loss rules do not apply to grantor trusts, partnerships, and LLCs, they do apply to the owners of these entities.

A passive activity is generally a trade or business activity in which the member does not materially participate or a rental real estate activity in which the member does not actively participate. An LLC may have more than one activity. Each member must apply the passive activity loss and credit limitations on an activity-by-activity basis.

Individuals, estates, trusts, and S corporations must complete form FTB 3801 to calculate the allowable passive losses and form FTB 3801‑CR to calculate the allowable passive credits. Corporations must complete form FTB 3802.

The amounts reported on Schedule K-1 (568), line 1 and line 15f, are normally passive activity income (loss) or credits from the trade or business of the LLC if you are a member who did not materially participate in the trade or business activities of the LLC. The amounts reported on Schedule K-1 (568), line 2, line 3, line 15b, line 15c, and line 15d are from rental activities of the LLC and are passive activity income (loss) or credits to all members. There is an exception to this rule for losses incurred by qualified investors in qualified low-income housing projects. The LLC will identify any of these qualified amounts on an attachment for line 2.

The passive loss rules apply to the items attributable to each publicly traded partnership (PTP) that is not treated as a corporation under IRC Section 7704. Thus, members who do not materially participate in the operations of a PTP are allowed to deduct their share of the PTP’s losses only to the extent of passive income from the same PTP or when the entire interest is sold (IRC Section 469(k)). See the instructions for form FTB 3801 and form FTB 3802 for rules to calculate and report income, gains, and losses from passive activities that you held through each PTP you owned during the taxable year.

Get the instructions for federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), Passive Activity Limitations, and federal Pub. 925, for more information.

Investment Partnership Income

If you are a nonresident individual, the amounts in column (e) will generally not be taxable by California (R&TC Section 17955). However, nonresident individuals will be taxed on their distributive share of California source income from an LLC that is an investment partnership if the income from the qualifying investment securities is interrelated with:

Any other business activity of the nonresident member.
Any other entity in which the nonresident member owns an interest that is separate and distinct from the investment activity of the LLC and that is conducted in California.

If you are a corporate member, the amounts in column (e) will generally not be taxable in California provided the income from the LLC is the corporation’s only California source income. However, if the corporation does either of the following:

Participates in the management of the investment activities of the LLC or is engaged in a unitary business with another corporation or partnership that participates in the management of the investment activities of the LLC.
Has income attributable to sources within California other than income from the investment partnership.

Then the corporation will be taxable on its distributive share of California source income of the LLC. See R&TC Section 23040.1 for more information.

Line Instructions

Enter the difference between federal and California amounts from column (c) on Schedule CA (540) if you are a resident or on Schedule CA (540NR) if you are a nonresident or part-year resident. Also, if you are a nonresident or part‑year resident, enter California source amounts from the Schedule K‑1 (568), column (e), on your Schedule CA (540NR), column E.

F(1) – If this box is checked, the LLC is a PTP as defined in IRC Section 469(k)(2). Follow the instructions for form FTB 3801 or form FTB 3802 for reporting income, gains, and losses from PTPs.

F(2) – If this box is checked, the LLC qualifies as an investment partnership as defined in R& TC Sections 17955 and 23040.1. If you are a nonresident individual, the amounts in column (e) will generally not be taxable in California.

I – If you have contributed property with a built-in gain or loss during the tax year, the Limited Liability Company will check the "Yes" box and will attach a statement. For more information, get the instructions for the federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), Item M.

K – Beginning in taxable year 2021, all LLCs must report members’ capital accounts using the tax basis method on California Schedule K-1 (568). Current year net income/loss and other increases/decreases are now separately reported in columns (c) and (d), respectively. For more information on partner tax basis capital account, get the Partner's Instructions for federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065).

Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Members, get FTB Pub. 1100, Taxation of Nonresidents and Individuals Who Change Residency

Part-year resident members must consider their period of residency and nonresidency in the computation of total California income.

The line instructions below that instruct you to enter information from Schedule K-1 (568), column (d), on other forms, apply to resident members. When the instructions make reference to column (d), nonresident members should take information from columns (c), (d), and (e) and apply the information to the appropriate line relating to computation of total income and income from California sources.

Income (Loss)

Line 1 – Ordinary Income (Loss) from Trade or Business Activities

The amount reported on line 1, column (d), is your share of the ordinary income (loss) from the trade or business activities of the LLC. For individual members, where this amount is reported depends on whether or not this amount is a passive activity.

If, in addition to this passive activity income, you have a passive activity loss from this LLC or from any other source, report the income on form FTB 3801 or form FTB 3802. If a loss is reported on line 1, column (d), report the loss on the applicable line of form FTB 3801 or form FTB 3802 to determine how much of the loss is allowable.

If the LLC income is from activities both within and outside California, the amount nonresidents or corporate members must report on their California return is a function of the LLC’s apportionment percentage and allocation of income. Reporting instructions are included in the information provided by the LLC. See Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 17951-4 and 25137-1 for more information. In addition, see General Information E, Unitary Members.

Line 2 – Net Income (Loss) from Rental Real Estate Activities

Generally, the income (loss) reported on line 2, column (d), is a passive activity amount to all members. However, the loss limitations of IRC Section 469 do not apply to qualified investors in qualified low-income housing projects. If applicable, the LLC will attach a schedule for line 2 to identify such amounts. If you have an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 2, column (c), report this amount on Schedule CA (540), Part I, Section B, line 5, or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, Section B, line 5, column B or column C, whichever is applicable.

Use the following instructions to determine where to enter the line 2 amount.

If you have a loss on line 2, column (d) (other than a qualified low- income housing project loss), enter the loss on the applicable line of form FTB 3801 or form FTB 3802 to determine how much of the loss is allowable. Your share of the loss may be eligible for the special $25,000 allowance for rental real estate losses. Get the instructions for form FTB 3801 or form FTB 3802 for more information.

Get the federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) Specific Instructions for box 2, item 1 and item 2, for more information.

Report any California adjustment amount from column (c) on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR) if you are a qualified investor reporting a qualified low‑income housing project loss.

If you have only income on line 2, column (d), and no other passive losses, enter any California adjustment amount from column (c) on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR). However, if in addition to this passive activity income, you have a passive activity loss from this LLC or from any other source, report the line 2, column (d), income on the applicable line of form FTB 3801 or form FTB 3802.

Line 3 – Net Income (Loss) from Other Rental Activities

The amount on line 3, column (d) is a passive activity amount for all members.

If line 3, column (d) is a loss, report the loss on the applicable line of form FTB 3801 or form FTB 3802.
If only income is reported on line 3, column (d), and you have no other passive losses, report the California adjustment from column (c) on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR). However, if in addition to this passive activity income, you have a passive activity loss from this LLC or from any other source, report the line 3 income on the applicable line of form FTB 3801 or form FTB 3802.

Line 4a through 4c – Guaranteed Payments for Services and Capital

Amounts on these line are not normally part of a passive activity. If there is an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 4c, Total guaranteed payments, column (c), enter this amount on Schedule CA (540), Part I, line 8z, or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, line 8z, column B or column C, whichever is applicable. If this is a passive activity for the member, then the member must also complete the passive activity form. Use federal Form 8582, Passive Activity Loss Limitations, for federal purposes and form FTB 3801 for California purposes.

Line 5 through Line 11a – Portfolio Income

Portfolio income (loss), referred to as “portfolio” income (loss) in these instructions, is generally not subject to the passive activity limitations of IRC Section 469. Portfolio income includes interest, dividend, royalty income and gain or loss on the sale of property held for investment. Generally, amounts reported on line 8, line 9, and line 11a, are gains or losses attributable to the disposition of property held for investment and are, therefore, classified as portfolio income (loss). However, if an amount reported on line 8, line 9, or line 11a, column (d), is a passive activity amount, the LLC should identify the amount.

Line 5 – Interest Income

If you have an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 5, column (c), report this amount on Schedule CA (540), Part I, Section A, line 2, or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, Section A, line 2, column B or column C, whichever is applicable.

Line 6 – Dividends

If you have an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 6, column (c), report this amount on Schedule CA (540), Part I, Section A, line 3, or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, Section A, line 3, column B or column C, whichever is applicable.

Line 7 – Royalties

If you have an amount reported on Schedule K-1 (568), line 7, column (c), report this amount on Schedule CA (540), Part I, Section B, line 5, or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, Section B, line 5, column B or column C, whichever is applicable.

Line 8 and Line 9 – Net Short-term and Net Long-term Capital Gain (Loss)

If you have an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 8 or line 9, column (d), report this amount on Schedule D (540 or 540NR), line 2.

Line 10a and Line 10b – Total Gain and Total Loss under IRC Section 1231 (Other Than Due to Casualty or Theft)

If the amounts on line 10a and line 10b relate to rental activity, the IRC Section 1231 gain (loss) is a passive activity amount. If the amounts on line 10a and line 10b relate to a trade or business activity and you are a limited partner, the IRC Section 1231 gain (loss) is a passive activity amount.

If the amount is not a passive activity amount report it on Schedule D-1, line 2, column (g).
If a gain is reported on line 10a, column (d), and it is a passive activity amount report the gain on Schedule D-1, line 2, column (g).
If a loss is reported on line 10b, column (d), and it is a passive activity amount, get form FTB 3801 to determine if your loss is limited.

Line 11a – Other Portfolio Income (Loss)

The LLC uses line 11a, column (d), to report portfolio income other than interest, dividend, royalty, and capital gain (loss) income. The LLC should attach a schedule to Schedule K-1 (568) to tell you what kind of portfolio income is reported on line 11a, column (d). An example of portfolio income that could be reported on line 11a, column (d), is from a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) in which the LLC is a residual interest holder.

If the LLC has a residual interest in a REMIC, it will report your share of REMIC taxable income (net loss) on the schedule. Report the adjustment amount from column (c) on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR). The LLC will also report your share of “excess inclusion” and your share of IRC Section 212 expenses.

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026, the federal deduction for miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to the 2 percent floor is suspended. California does not conform. You may deduct these IRC Section 212 expenses as a miscellaneous deduction for California purposes.

Line 11b and Line 11c – Total Other Income and Total Other Loss

Amounts reported on these lines are other items of income (loss) not included on line 1 through line 11a. The LLC should give you a description for each of these items.

Use the following instructions to:

Report income or gain (not losses) from passive activities.
Report income, gain, or losses from all other passive activities.

If you have losses from passive activities, or a combination of income, gains, and losses from passive activities, you must first complete form FTB 3801 or form FTB 3802 to determine if any of your losses are limited by the passive loss rules. Use the instructions below to report passive income and losses after the passive loss limitations have been computed.

Line 11b and line 11c items may include:

LLC gains from disposition of farm recapture property (get Schedule D‑1) and other items to which IRC Section 1252 applies.
Recoveries of bad debts, prior taxes, and delinquency amounts (IRC Section 111). Report the amounts from line 11b and line 11c, column (c), on Schedule CA (540), Part I, line 8z, or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, line 8z, column B or column C, whichever is applicable.
Gains and losses from wagering (IRC Section 165(d)). Report the amounts from line 11b and line 11c, column (c), on Schedule CA (540), Part I, line 8z, or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, line 8z, column B or column C, whichever is applicable.
Any income, gain, or loss to the LLC under IRC Section 751. Report this amount on Schedule D-1, line 10.
Specially allocated ordinary gain or loss. Report this amount on Schedule D-1, line 10.
Net gain or loss from involuntary conversions due to casualty or theft. The LLC will provide a schedule that shows the California amounts to be entered on federal Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts, Section B, Part II, line 34, column (b)(i), column (b)(ii), and column (c).
Other income (loss) including involuntary conversions, IRC Section 1256 contracts & straddles, and mining exploration costs.

Deductions

Line 12 – Expense Deduction for Recovery Property

For California, the maximum amount of expense deduction for recovery property (IRC Section 179 deduction) that you can claim for all sources is $25,000. The $25,000 limit is reduced if the total cost of IRC Section 179 property placed in service during the year exceeds $200,000.

California does not conform to the federal limitation amounts.

The LLC will provide information on your share of the IRC Section 179 deduction and of the cost of the LLC’s IRC Section 179 property so that you can compute this limitation. Your IRC Section 179 deduction is also limited to your taxable income from all of your trades or businesses. Get form FTB 3885A, Depreciation and Amortization Adjustments, and get federal Pub. 534, Depreciating Property Placed In Service Before 1987, and federal Pub. 946, How to Depreciate Property, for more information.

If the IRC Section 179 deduction is a passive activity amount, report it on the applicable line of form FTB 3801. If it is not a passive activity amount and there is an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 12, column (c), enter this amount on Schedule CA (540), Part I, line 8z, or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, line 8z, column B or column C, whichever is applicable.

Line 13a – Cash Contributions

The LLC will provide a schedule that shows which contributions were subject to the 50 percent, 30 percent, and 20 percent limitations. See the instructions for federal Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return or federal Form 1040-SR, U.S. Tax Return for Seniors, and federal Pub. 526, Charitable Contributions, for more information.

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026, the 50 percent limitation under IRC Section 170(b) for cash contributions to public charities and certain private foundations is increased for federal purposes. California does not conform. The limitation for California is 50 percent.

California has not conformed to any of the provisions of the Katrina Emergency Relief Act of 2005.

If there is an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 13a, column (c), enter this amount on Schedule CA (540), Part II, line 11, or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part III, line 11.

Line 13b – Noncash Contributions

If there is an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 13b, column (c), enter this amount on Schedule CA (540), Part II, line 12 or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part III, line 12.

Line 13c – Investment Interest Expense

If the LLC paid or accrued interest debts it incurred to buy or hold investment property, the amount of interest you can deduct may be limited. For more information and the special provisions that apply to investment interest expense, get form FTB 3526, Investment Interest Expense Deduction, and federal Pub. 550, Investment Income and Expenses.

Enter the amount from column (d) on form FTB 3526 along with your investment interest expense from any other sources. Form FTB 3526 will help you determine how much of your total investment interest is deductible.

Line 13d – IRC Section 59(e) Expenditures

If you have an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 13d, get the instructions for the federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), box 13. The LLC should give you a description and the amount of your share for each item applicable to California in this category.

Line 13e – Deductions Related to Portfolio Income

Amounts entered on this line are the deductions that are clearly and directly allocable to portfolio income (other than investment interest expense and expenses from a REMIC). If you have an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 13e, column (c), enter this amount on Schedule CA (540), Part II, line 21 or on Schedule CA (540NR), Part III, line 21. If any of the line 13e amounts should not be reported on Schedule CA (540 or 540NR), the LLC should identify these amounts.

Line 13f – Other Deductions

Amounts on this line are deductions not included on lines 12, 13a through 13e. If there is an amount on Schedule K-1 (568), line 13f, column (c), enter this amount on the applicable line of Schedule CA (540 or 540NR).

Get the instructions for federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), box 13, for examples of other deductions. Also get FTB Pub. 1001, for differences between federal and state tax law for certain deductions.

Line 14

The information reported in box 14 of the federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), does not apply to California and therefore there is no line 14.

Credits

If you have credits that are passive activity credits, complete form FTB 3801-CR (corporations use form FTB 3802), in addition to the credit forms referenced. Get the instructions for form FTB 3801-CR (or form FTB 3802) for more information.

Line 15a – Total Withholding

Total withholding is the sum of your distributive share of withholding on payments to the LLC by another entity, (allocated to all members according to their respective LLC interests), taxes withheld on you by the LLC, or backup withholding on you as a domestic or foreign nonresident member. If taxes were allocated to you or withheld on you by the LLC, the LLC must provide a completed Form 592, Resident and Nonresident Withholding Statement. Attach Form 592-B, Resident and Nonresident Withholding Tax Statement to the front of your California return to claim the amount withheld.

Schedule K-1 (568) may not be used to claim the withholding credit. If the LLC is not on a calendar year, the amount on line 15a may not match the amount on Form 592-B because of the difference in accounting periods. Claim the amount shown on Form 592-B on one of the following:

Form 540, California Resident Income Tax Return, line 73.
Form 540NR, California Nonresident or Part-year Resident Income Tax Return, line 83.

Line 15b – Low-Income Housing Credit

The farmworker housing credit has been consolidated into the low-income housing tax credit. For more information, get form FTB 3521, Low-Income Housing Credit.

Any allowable credit is entered on form FTB 3521. However, the passive activity credit limitations of IRC Section 469 may limit the amount of credit. Credits from passive activities are generally limited to tax attributable to passive activities.

You cannot claim the low-income housing credit on any qualified low‑income housing project for which any person was allowed any benefit under Section 502 of the federal Tax Reform Act of 1986.

Line 15c – Other Credits Related to Rental Real Estate Activities

The information you need to compute credits related to rental real estate activities other than the low-income housing credit is provided with an attached schedule. These credits may be limited due to passive activity limitation rules.

Line 15d – Credits Related to Other Rental Activities

Any information you need to compute credits related to rental activities other than rental real estate activities is provided on this line with an attached schedule. These credits may be limited due to passive activity limitation rules.

Line 15e – Nonconsenting Nonresident Members' Tax Paid by LLC

This line shows any income tax paid on your behalf by the LLC if, as a nonresident member, you did not sign form FTB 3832, Limited Liability Company Nonresident Members’ Consent, consenting to California’s jurisdiction to tax your distributive share of the LLC income attributable to California sources.

This line also shows any income tax paid on behalf of your LLC by another LLC of which your LLC is a member. This applies if form FTB 3832 is not signed on behalf of your LLC. This means that your LLC is not consenting to California’s jurisdiction to tax your LLC’s distributive share of another LLC’s income attributable to California sources.

You must attach a copy of Schedule K-1 (568) to your California tax return to claim the tax paid by the LLC on your behalf. The LLC’s return must be filed before an individual member’s account can be credited.

For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, the tax may be reduced by the amount of tax previously withheld and paid by the LLC with respect to each nonconsenting, nonresident member.

If there was income tax paid on behalf of your LLC, you must attach a copy of the following to your California tax return to claim your share of the tax paid by another LLC on behalf of your LLC:

The Schedule K-1 (568) issued to your LLC by another LLC.

The LLC can include on line 15f your distributive share of net income taxes paid to other states by the LLC. Subject to the limitations of R&TC Section 18006, members may claim a credit against their individual tax for net income taxes paid by the LLC to another state. The amount of tax paid is required to be supported by a copy of the return filed with the other state and evidence of the payment of the tax. Get California Schedule S for more information.

Line 16

The information reported in box 16 of the federal Schedule K‑1 (Form 1065), does not apply to California and therefore there is no line 16.

For more information and the special provisions that apply to investment interest expense, get form FTB 3526, and federal Pub. 550.

Use the column (d) amounts to determine the amount to enter on form FTB 3526, line 1.

The LLC should attach a schedule that shows the amount of any investment income and expenses included in any other lines of this Schedule K-1 (568). Use these amounts, if any, to adjust line 20a and line 20b to determine your total investment income and total investment expenses from this LLC.

Combine these totals with investment income and expenses from all other sources to determine the amount to enter on form FTB 3526, line 1.

Line 20c – Other Information

For credit recaptures attach a schedule including credit recapture names and amounts.

The LLC will provide supplemental information required to be reported to you on this line. If the LLC is claiming tax benefits from an Enterprise Zone (EZ), Local Agency Military Base Recovery Area (LAMBRA), Manufacturing Enhancement Area (MEA), or Targeted Tax Area (TTA), it will give you the business income, and business capital gains and losses, apportioned to the EZ, LAMBRA, MEA, or TTA, on this line.

The LLC may have provided a schedule with amounts showing your proportionate interest in the LLC’s aggregate gross receipts, less returns and allowances. A qualified taxpayer may exclude income, positive and negative adjustments, and preference items attributable to any trade or business from alternative minimum taxable income. A “qualified taxpayer” is defined as an individual, estate, or trust that meets both of the following:

Is the owner of, or has an ownership interest in a trade or business.
Has aggregate gross receipts, less returns and allowances, of less than $1,000,000 during the taxable year from all trades or businesses in which the taxpayer is an owner or has an ownership interest. In the case of an ownership interest, you should include only your proportional share of aggregate gross receipts of any trade or business from a partnership, LLC, S corporation, regulated investment company (RIC), real estate investment trust (REIT), or REMIC.

You need to add your share of the aggregate gross receipts from this LLC to your aggregate gross receipts from all other trades or businesses in which you hold an interest to determine if you are a qualified taxpayer.

For purposes of R&TC Section 17062(b)(4), “aggregate gross receipts, less returns and allowances” means the sum of the following:

The gross receipts of the trades or businesses which the taxpayer owns.
The proportionate interest of the gross receipts of the trades or businesses which the taxpayer owns.
The proportionate interest of pass-through entities gross receipts in which the taxpayer holds an interest.

Gross Receipts – R&TC Section 25120 was amended to add the definition of gross receipts. “Gross receipts” means the gross amounts realized (the sum of money and the fair market value of other property or services received) on:

The sale or exchange of property,
The performance of services, or
The use of property or capital (including rents, royalties, interest, and dividends) in a transaction that produces business income, in which the income, gain, or loss is recognized (or would be recognized if the transaction were in the United States) under the IRC.

Amounts realized on the sale or exchange of property shall not be reduced by the cost of goods sold or the basis of property sold.

For a complete definition of “gross receipts”, refer to R&TC Section 25120(f) or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for 25120.

For purposes of this section “pass-through entity” means a partnership (as defined by R&TC Section 17008), an S corporation, a RIC, a REIT, and a REMIC. See R&TC Section 17062 for more information.

Get FTB Pub. 1001, for a listing of items of nonconformity for individuals.

The pro-rata share of gain or loss on property subject to the IRC Section 179 expense deduction recapture should be reported on Schedule K-1 (568) as other information. Follow the instructions on the federal Form 4797 and federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) for the reporting requirements.

Line 21 – More than one activity for at-risk purposes

When the partnership has more than one activity for at-risk purposes, it will check this box and attach a statement. For more information, get the instructions for federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), line 22.

Line 22 – More than one activity for passive activity purposes

When the partnership has more than one activity for passive activity purposes, it will check this box and attach a statement. For more information, get the instructions for federal Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), line 23.

Other Member Information

Table 1 – Member’s Share of Nonbusiness Income from Intangibles (source of income is dependent on residence or commercial domicile of the member)

The income data contained in Table 1 is not reflected in column (e) of Schedule K-1 (568) because the source of such income must be determined at the member level. The member must make a determination whether the nonbusiness intangible income is from a California source. For more information, see General Information D, Nonbusiness Income, and General Information E, Unitary Members.

Table 2 – Member’s Share of Distributive Items

The LLC will complete Table 2, Parts A to C for unitary members and Table 2, Part C for all non-unitary members. Table 2 does not need to be completed for non-unitary individuals. The final determination of unity is made at the member level.

If the member and the LLC are engaged in a single unitary business, or if the LLC is uncertain as to whether it is unitary with the member, the LLC will furnish the information on Table 2.

The member’s share of the LLC’s business income is entered on Table 2, Part A. The member then adds that income to its own business income and apportions the combined business income using the revised factor described below.

Table 2, Part B, reflects the member’s share of nonbusiness income from real and tangible property wholly sourced or allocable to California. This is added to apportioned business income and nonbusiness intangible income allocated to California and becomes a part of California taxable income. For more information, see R&TC Sections 25124 and 25125, and Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 17951‑1, 17951‑2, and 17951‑3.

The member’s share of the LLC’s property, payroll, and sales factors is in Table 2, Part C. The member combines its apportionment factors with the apportionment factors of the LLC and uses the revised factor to compute its business income apportioned to California. For more information, see General Information D, Nonbusiness Income, and General Information E, Unitary Members.

The LLC will complete Table 2, Part C to report the member’s distributive share of property, payroll and sales Total within California.

Members will use Table 2, Part C to determine if they meet threshold amounts of California property, payroll and sales.

R&TC Section 23101 provides that a taxpayer is doing business if it actively engages in any transaction for the purpose of financial or pecuniary gain or profit in California or if any of the following conditions are satisfied:

The taxpayer is organized or commercially domiciled in California.
The sales, as defined in R&TC Section 25120(e) or (f), of the taxpayer in California, including sales by the taxpayer’s agents and independent contractors, exceed the lesser of $711,538 or 25 percent of the taxpayer’s total sales.
The real property and tangible personal property of the taxpayer in California exceed the lesser of $71,154 or 25 percent of the taxpayer’s total real property and tangible personal property.
The amount paid in California by the taxpayer for compensation, as defined in R&TC Section 25120(c), exceeds the lesser of $71,154 or 25 percent of the total compensation paid by the taxpayer.

If the member’s distributive share of property, payroll, or sales in California, when combined with the member’s property, payroll, or sales in California from other pass-through entities or its own activities, exceeds the threshold amounts set forth in R&TC Section 23101, the member is “doing business” in California and must file a return and pay all applicable taxes, including the minimum franchise tax if the member is a corporation or the applicable annual tax if the member is a business entity that is required to pay an annual tax.

For more information, see R&TC Section 23101 or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for doing business.
